Leg Day: the last day I’ll be walking this week ; )

Happy end of the weekend, everyone!

We had a nice Sunday, though we woke up to even more snow and even more cold! We slept until 8, went to church at 11 and then ate at Chipotle. I usually get a salad, but today I had a burrito bowl because I wanted plenty of carbs for my workout later. The ingredients were: rice, black beans, steak, a little corn salsa, a little tomato salsa, a little cheese, and some lettuce. Yum!

Erik got a burrito with about the same ingredients minus steak, plus chicken. When we got home, I drank some tea (cold weather calls for large amounts of tea to be consumed ; ) And then it was off to the gym! (or rather, downstairs to the gym).

We still have to move some things around, but these pictures will give you a general idea of what our newly renovated downstairs gym looks like. I plan to do a complete post to give you the tour later on … perhaps even a video post, so stay tuned!

Anyways, today began my 2010 workout prep for my figure competition. It’s quite a ways away but I figure it’s never too early to start! I’d rather have plenty of time than not enough. I started out with a bang and did legs today.

First, I jumped on the elliptical for 15 minutes to get my body warmed up. I must start out by saying that squats and lunges (and, well, legs in general) are the WORST but they also make me feel the most hardcore. Let’s just say I am going to be SO sore the next few days and I may have trouble with stairs ; )

My leg workout was as follows:

Squats: 5 sets of 20 reps, 45 pounds.

Rocky and Adrian helped … obviously ; ) 

P.S. If you’re wondering what that weird color is on Rocky, it’s the new color of my bathroom. She decided to say hi to me while I was painting and walked against the wall.

Lunges: 5 sets of 20 reps each leg, 15 lb dumbbells in each hand

Every time I do legs and get done with squats and lunges, I joke that I finally got the two devils out of the way.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re either not doing them right or you’ve never done them, haha ; )

I was sure to snap a picture or two of Erik as well : )

Leg extensions: 5 sets of 20 reps, 80 pounds.  Hamstring curls: 5 sets of 20 reps, 45 pounds

Calf raises: 5 sets of 20 reps on each leg holding 25 lb dumbbell I finished it up with another 15 minutes of easy cardio.

And that’s it for now : ) Hopefully I’ll get the official new gym tour up soon!

How was your weekend?
